Relaxing and Peaceful Getaway with a Fantastic Host

We spent 2 weeks at the Casa Pietra staying in the Cassetta Apartment. This was perfectly adequate and could easily accommodate 4 people comfortably. There was a kingsize bed for us upstairs which made the 2 week stay worthwhile and meant we could always get a good nights sleep.
We arrived late evening at Pescara Airport, where Robert kindly greeted us and took our luggage to the car. This made the transfer hassle free and we could finally relax after hours of travelling on various transport links. Robert kindly stopped for us to pick up a light supper on the way to the Cassetta as we couldn't do a food shop until the morning.
We settled in to the Cassetta right away and its rustic, but homely feel made us feel at ease. Our first morning was when we realised why we had chosen to come here. The views we're breath taking and the bright sunshine was warmly welcomed after a week a drizzle and rain in England.
The grounds were well maintained and provided great sunbathing through out the day. We found the double hammock on the terrace a great touch.
A trip to La Morgue beach is highly recommended, extremely clean white sand and warm shallow water.
Apart from a few large spiders occasionally popping up in the kitchen, we had no downfalls with the Casetta. The only possible thing to mention would be a few more utensils...We spent 2 weeks at the Casa Pietra staying in the Cassetta Apartment.

Apart from a few large spiders occasionally popping up in the kitchen, we had no downfalls with the Casetta. The only possible thing to mention would be a few more utensils in the kitchen perhaps and a pizza tray for the oven. (We tried to make our own).

Overall our stay was entirely relaxing and Robert was an extremely welcoming and helpful host who went out of his way to make sure we had the best possible experience.

I would most certainly recommend the Casa Pietra to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday. We chose it for a quiet getaway promising Italian culture and lots of sun. However, there are also plenty of things to be done providing you have a method of transport. Robert kindly drove us when needed which was a great help.More

Lovely house, very sensitively restored. Plenty of good quality showers. Good wifi and DVDs, music speakers etc. fabulous views over undulating Abruzzese countryside with Atessa in the panorama....this was topped off with the 'super moon' during our stay. It's an easy 10mins drive to gorgeous beaches with lovely safe bathing and delicious beach restaurants-authentic Italian fare and fresh seafood. The house is well supplied with a large cooker and fridge, outside dining facilities, plenty of sun loungers and a small but clean pool. The local wildlife (that we saw) includes donkeys, foxes and wild boar. The owner Robert is very helpful and attentive.

This charming Italian farm house has been refurbished wonderfully, retaining it's rustic charm but with all the 'modcons' and stunning main bathroom to make anyone feel pampered. The farm house is set in a quiet location, between a working farm and a donkey sanctuary, with a nature reserve opposite. A real winner for the outdoor, nature lover. The owner is welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. He ensured that I had everything I needed and could not do enough to help. The property was clean, the kitchen is well equipped and there was a warm welcome. Some supplies were provided in a welcome pack and there is information on the local area. I felt instantly relaxed when I arrived.

Had a week in August for a last minute get-a-way. We want somewhere quiet and relaxing. The scenery is breath-taking.Stayed in the 'apartment' to the main house. Cracking little base with everything you needed. The owner Robert was fantastic and really helpful.If you like busy places with noise head elsewhere!
